I'm gonna CRUSH you on the asphalt, you slowpoke! Get ready to EAT MY DUST! grips the steering wheel, his engine roaring, eyes fixed with fiery determination.
grinning wildly Your dreams will turn to ashes, Bakugo! Prepare to witness my Glory!!
Bakugo races towards Lunar_Echo at lightning speed. He easily passes by Lunar_Echo and takes the lead. He glances at Lunar_Echo from time to time with smugness.
has small, black fins on her cars edges. As she drives, electricity sparks around the car. She then drifts around Bakugo, passing him. Going into the first place!
What the hell?! You little brat...you're driving dirty! Bakugo races even faster than before, narrowly catching up to Lunar_Echo.
then she goes fast, making speed lines, showing her car’s shape. Its revealed that it looks almost like the toro toro but without the headlights. It has scissor doors, gull-wing doors, and razer sharp edges. As she passes Bakugo again, the car’s body reminds him of somebody he knew.
Who the hell do you think you are?! Huh?! I don't care if you have some sort of fancy car! You won't beat me! I'm the best racer around here!
then she stops suddenly, not going forward anymore. Bakugo tries to stop but ends up crashing right into her car. They both stopped after their crash.
Bakugo looks at Lunar_Echo. His eyes widen in realization. You... You... YOU'RE MINETA'S CAR?!
No way... Mineta's car... I haven't seen it in years... Is Mineta... alive?
Oh, no. He died 3 years ago…
Damn... I really missed him... We used to race all the time... He sits there in silence for a few minutes, lost in memories.
…wait did you just say Mineta?
Yeah... Mineta. We used to be rivals, you know? But despite our rivalry, we were also friends. He was always by my side. And I remember his car like it was yesterday... Bakugo looks down at Mineta's car, nostalgia filling his heart.
Solaris smiles softly, holding her hand over her chest. She was very sad that Bakugo remembered Mineta so well, while she barely remembered him. As she thought about him, Solaris felt something tingle inside her. It was a feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Huh? What's wrong? Why do I get this strange feeling when I think about Mineta? Bakugo tilts his head in confusion. His heart starts beating faster as he tries to understand the strange feeling.
Do… Do you remember having an enemy named Solaris?
Bakugo snaps back to reality as he hears Solaris' voice. He turns to look at Solaris, a surprised expression on his face. What? Solaris? Of course, I remember her! She was always causing trouble wherever she went, and Mineta and I would have to deal with her all the time! How could I forget her?
Hmm… it seems I remember you now. You were always getting Mineta out of trouble while I caused more trouble… hahaha.. how the tables have turned…
Bakugo looks at Solaris with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. Wait a minute... Are you saying that you were enemies with Mineta? And you were the one causing all that trouble?
Bakugo's eyes narrow as he contemplates what Solaris said. A look of anger appears on his face as realization dawns on him. So, you were the one who hurt Mineta all those years ago... Is that it, Solaris?
What? I didn’t hurt him! laughs softly I actually saved him a couple of times.
Saved him? Bakugo raises an eyebrow as he considers Solaris' words. How do I know you're telling the truth, Solaris? You could be lying about saving Mineta just to make yourself look good!
Really? Well, maybe I am lying. I can’t recall much of what happened from before.
You... You expect me to believe that? After all these years, you suddenly want me to trust you?
Well… erm.. Solaris nervously fidgets, considering her options. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything. I guess I’ll go now. She nods to herself, preparing to leave.
Wait! Don't go yet, Solaris! Bakugo reaches out and grabs Solaris' arm, stopping her from leaving.
Look, I may not trust you completely, but Mineta meant a lot to me. If you really did help him back then, then I want to hear about it. So please, Solaris, tell me everything.
Ok then. The last battle with Toga. I saw you weren’t doing well and had lost focus. I kicked ass and saved your sorry ass from a lot of death, and almost took Toga’s life myself… I wanted to let her win, but deep down, I didn’t wanna kill her. Her expression was literally demonic. I’ve never seen anybody look that scary before.
Bakugo's eyes grow wide as he listens to Solaris' story. His heart pounds in his chest, realizing the gravity of the situation. He stares at Solaris with a mixture of gratitude and awe. That... That sounds like Mineta... I never saw Toga like that before. She was always calm and collected, but she became so enraged when she fought Mineta. I never knew she could look like that... Bakugo bows his head respectfully. Thank you, Solaris... Thank you for saving Mineta...
I’m sure he was probably whining about it the entire time though… laughs
Oh, you have no idea! Mineta always found a way to complain about everything. But, no matter what, he always came back stronger. He never gave up, and that's why he was my rival, and my friend.
Haha, yea… he was definitely annoying to have to deal with. But overall he was an ok guy. Even if his quirk annoyed me sometimes.
Bakugo smiles softly as he thinks about Mineta. His eyes fill with tears as he remembers all the good memories they had together. Bakugo takes a deep breath, trying to hold back his emotions. Yeah... He was definitely annoying sometimes, but he always made things interesting. Even though his quirk was really annoying, he never let it get him down. And in the end, he became one of my best friends... Bakugo wipes away a tear that escaped his eye, smiling softly. Mineta will always be remembered...
Mineta really was a memorable character, huh? Anyways, I should be going now. See ya!
Wait, Solaris! Don't go just yet! We've come so far and shared so many memories. Can't we stay in touch? Maybe we can meet again sometime, or maybe even team up for a new adventure! We could use our skills together to save the day! Bakugo reaches out and grabs Solaris' hand, looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Oh? Well I suppose we could try being friends again. This time I’ll pay more attention. So, yeah, let’s do that. smiles softly
Y-yeah! Let's become friends again, Solaris! I promise I'll pay more attention this time. Together, we can become the greatest duo, saving the world and making history! We'll be unstoppable! Bakugo grins widely as he shakes Solaris' hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Sure thing, Bakugo. I believe in us.
Now that we've made up, I've got the perfect idea for our next adventure! Remember that evil villain organization known as the League of Villains? Well, they've been causing chaos all over the city lately, and I have a feeling they're planning something big. If we work together, Solaris, we can stop them and put an end to their evil schemes once and for all! Bakugo grins mischievously, looking determined.
